| Omar violates oath of office by challenging Accession | | | Neha
Jammu, Sept 28: NC leader and CM Omar Abdullah has been violating the oath of office almost every day and questioning the accession of the State with India. On September 25, he crossed all the lines and told the visiting European Union delegation in Srinagar that if the Government of India was to restore peace in Kashmir and end alienation of Kashmiri Muslims, it has to address the political issue of Kashmir politically. "Political resolution of the political issue of Kashmir is the only way ford," he told the EU delegation. It is indeed intriguing that the parties like the Congress has overlooked what Omar Abdullah said to damage India and help the Kashmiri separatists and communalists. It appears the Congress endorses the anti-India stand of Omar Abdullah.
Of course, Omar Abdullah attacked both the Indian Constitution and Jammu and Kashmir Constitution, when he questioned the political status of Jammu and Kashmir, which became part of the Indian Dominion on October 26, 1947 as per the law on the subject. In fact, Omar Abdullah attacked Article 1 of the Indian Constitution and section 3 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution.
Article 1 of the Constitution of India and Section 3 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution unambiguously say that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and shall ever remain so. Four members of the Constituent Assembly of India from Jammu and Kashmir, including National Conference (NC) president and Wazir-e-Azam Sheikh Abdullah, were signatories to the Constitution of India, which was adopted in 1949 and enforced on January 26, 1950. As for the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, it was adopted by the duly constituted Jammu and Kashmir Constituent-cum-Legislative Assembly in 1956 and enforced on January 26, 1957. The Jammu and Kashmir Constituent Assembly, which was dominated by the NC members, ratified the accession of the State to India immediately after its establishment in 1951. In other words, the people of Jammu and Kashmir exercised the right to self-determination as demanded by Pakistan and Kashmiri Muslim leadership and suggested both by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and United Nations Security Council and cheerfully linked their fate with democratic India, thus ending the controversy over the political status of the State that was, like all the 560-odd princely States and unlike the 11 British Indian provinces, not part of the partition plan.
The people's enthusiastic endorsement of the decision of Maharaja Hari Singh to integrate his State into India constituted one of the two most important developments as far as the determination of political status of Jammu and Kashmir was concerned. The other was that neither the Constitution of India nor the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution, like the US Constitution and unlike the Constitution of former USSR, provided for right to secede. To be more precise, both the statute books - Constitution of India and Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir - represented the will of the people and permanently clinched the issue of Jammu and Kashmir to the satisfaction of its people, including Kashmiri Muslims. The unanimous Parliamentary resolutions of February 22, 1994 and March 15 and August 14, 2013 were nothing but the reiteration of the nation's constitutional stand that the accession of Jammu and Kashmir with India was final, non-negotiable and irrevocable.
New Delhi needs to rein in Omar Abdullah so that a right message goes across the State that it will not tolerate any non-sense. |
